AtlasDB: Transactions for Distributed Key-Value Stores (Part I)
- bredman 12y agoInteresting but the devil is in the details with systems like this and the article doesn't go into much of that. I do like the decision to separate AtlasDB from the underlying K/V store.
- pbreit 12y agoSo is this thing open source or otherwise available? Sounds like post written for the corporate/gov/CIO crowd, less so for HNers (NoSQL?). Which makes sense.
- trhway 12y agowhether it is interesting or not depends on whether the main components - lock, transaction, timestamp servers - are distributed or single-node. I mean having non-distributed lock server is just not interesting today.
- AYBABTME 12y agoIs there code to look at?
- pnachbaur 12y agoReminded me of Storehaus [1] but taken further. curious to see what K/V drivers they've written so far. https://github.com/twitter/storehaus https://github.com/twitter/storehaus
- contingencies 12y agoJust to point it out .. Palantir historically has a strong CIA link... funding by In-Q-Tel, big data/surveillance focus with government clients, anti-Wikileaks work on behalf of Bank of America and a link to HBGary. Not an ethical organization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies Described by Wired as a secretive data mining software firm involved in a convoluted plot to bring down Wikileaks. This thread is not unlike discussing the material properties of building components with a prison architect. (Edit: Why the downvote? Intelligent people are ethically aware of their actions and find context meaningful. Nobody else mentioned this reality of the organization. If you disagree, please do so in writing.)
